What to watch for

Visualiser output is a rendering, not a photometric prediction. Use it for looks and positions, not to prove illuminance on a subject.

Fixture library accuracy varies. A fixture that renders with the wrong zoom range will make a pre-programmed show wrong in a way nobody catches until the rig is up.

Typical use

Pre-programming and rehearsing a show off site
Presenting a lighting design to a client
Checking beam coverage and sightlines before load-in
